hoststats 0.0.2

Host stats

hoststats

hoststats captures resource usage (memory usage, CPU cycles, network transfers) for a set of hosts over a period of time.

A Python API is provided for starting and finishing collection, and pulling the results to a CSV file.

Usage

Install:

pip3 install hoststats

Start the hoststats server (must be done on each host on which you wish to collect stats):

hoststats start

Create a client on another host with:

# Get list of IPs/ hostnames for hosts to be monitored
ip_list = ["1.2.3.4", "5.6.7.8"]

# Set up the client
hs = HostStats(ip_list)

# Start collection
hs.start_collection()

# Wait some time

# Write stats to CSV
hs.stop_and_write_to_csv("hoststats.csv")

Development

Ensure pip and setuptools are up to date and install requirements.

To develop:

pip3 install -e .

To release, make sure you have set up Twine keyring support, or a pypirc, then:
